In this paper, we approach the field of critical success factors (CSF) by analyzing a successful case of IT implementation within the public health sector. The purpose of the paper is to gain further understanding of if and how well CSFs can explain a successful case. The main conclusion drawn is that even though the studied organization shows signs of common CSFs, this alone cannot explain the...

Accessible online at: www.karger.com/journals/pne A good mathematical model of a physiological process does not need to explain everything. It is a big success if (1) it is physically intuitive; (2) it reveals deep connections between phenomena not previously known to be related, and (3) it makes predictions that can be tested by experiment. The model of intracranial pulsations presented in thi...

SHPTP1 (PTP1C, HCP, SHP) is an SH2 domain-containing tyrosine phosphatase expressed predominantly in hematopoietic cells. A frameshift mutation in the SHPTP1 gene causes the motheaten (me/me) mouse. These mice are essentially SHPTP1 null and display multiple hematopoietic abnormalities, most prominently hyperproliferation and inappropriate activation of granulocytes and macrophages. The me/me p...

meningitis is an inflammation of the membranes that surround the brain and spinal cord, thereby involving the arachnoid, the pia and the cerebrospinal fluid (csf). it is divided into viral and bacterial meningitis. for different reasons the diagnosis of bacterial meningitis is very important. the examination of csf samples may provide information about causative microorganism. the sensivity of ...

Granulocyte macrophage-colony stimulating factor (GM-CSF) is critically involved in development of organ-related autoimmune inflammatory diseases including experimental allergic encephalitis and collagen-induced arthritis. Roles of GM-CSF in the initiation and in the effector phase of the autoimmune response have been proposed. Our study was designed to investigate the mechanisms of GM-CSF in a...

The human granulocyte-macrophage colony stimulation factor (hGM-CSF) gene was cloned in the pET 23a( +) expression vector under the control of strong bacteriophage T7 transcription and translation signals. The hGM-CSF gene was transferred into E. coli strainBL21 (DE3)pLysS andIPTG was used for induction of GM-CSF gene. Production of the target protein was obtained as revealed by ELISA and ...

System integration is a complex technological task, and an infrastructure decision that seems right today might well be obsolete tomorrow. This article proposes a framework of critical success factors (CSFs) that can be used to manage IS integration projects, according to a firm’s current stage of IT integration maturity and other IS infrastructure characteristics. To demonstrate the potential ...

This paper presents a current research with the aim to identify the enablers, barriers and critical success factors for e-procurement adoption by suppliers. Any successful e-procurement system needs suppliers disposed to trade electronically. We present a review of the actual literature about e-Procurement, with focus on the barriers, enabler ́s and CSF ́s already identified. A research methodolo...
